If anyone ever figures out how to use this effectively in standard, I reckon people will just side in wrack with madness. Who says you can't get a kill spell with annilihator 5 for just four mana?

I like this guy because, despite at first blush he looks like a Timmy card, he's actually quite Johnny friendly due to his color restrictiveness and the parameters of his effect. As people have pointed out, Wall of Tanglecord stops this cold for 2. This can be played with by casting a Vampire's Bite on their wall. This also thrives with pump spells so cheating it out in green is pretty beneficial, bring out the Birthing Pod.
This set was very heavy (black targeting) removal which is why he can exist. There are a lot of answers available in both limited and constructed, they even rolled out the answers before the question. I don't think power creep is as pervasive as a lot of people like to claim, a big part of it is power being re-allocated to creatures in favor of other effects (The game has become much more "permanant-based", in my opinion) in order to keep the game appealing. It doesn't make for fun gameplay in most peo... (see all)

Don't feel sorry for red. They've got Wrack with Madness, which in my book is the hardest slam in the jewels that this card can take.

I don't get why this creatures isn't played in birthing pod, or modern rock.
Green gives you Prey Upon, which might aswell spell : target player sacrifices permanents equal to target creatures power.
Insanely powerfull

OK...yeah...even when time spiral came out I'd have stared at this and just kind of wondered who let R&D get ahold of acid, moonshine, and absinthe in a 15 minute time span but...I mean, come on while it is an extremely powerful creature, flavor-wise Yawgmoth would've given his left testicle for one of these during the Dominarian invasion, just ONE and this thing isn't legendary so I have to assume following what I can remember from the novels (when I read them all those years ago) these things would travel in groups of two plus underlings. How is anything short of a force of pre-mending planeswalkers supposed to fight a full invasion force of Mirrodin phyrexians? I mean there are supposed to still be a few survivors right?

In Multiplayer, this card is a little more fair. A little.
I've got one and I've only made my opponents sacrifice a few permanents in multi at most, and that's when I attack the players with worse board positions.
It really shines in single player if you can get it out lategame though.
The flavor is nice: Black makes people sacrifice, and Sheoldred, Whispering One has improved on Phyrexian Negator in New Phyrexia to the point where it's almost broken.
Absolutely eats Swords to Plowshares, Go for the Throat, Beast Within, Wrack with Madness, Mana Leak, and Dismember. There, I listed six cards in all colors (and colorless!) in Standard that can deal with this for three or less mana (except red; sorry red.)
If you face Black or Blue/Black Standard decks, be prepared to face the Obliterator, or all life sha... (see all)

If Innistrad came out before NPH, this card would have come out with Dismember on the back and some crazy way to transform it. Just for irony.
EDIT: @ MrFluffyThing:
Right now it's actually Alpha Brawl. Something even more extreme will probably come out in Avacyn Restored.
SECOND EDIT: Avacyn Restored isn't out yet, but I might be right. A replacement for Tajuru Preserver!
Sigarda, Host of Herons {2}{G}{W}{W}
Legendary Creature - Angel
Flying, hexproof
Spells and abilities your opponents control can't cause you to sacrifice permanents.
5/5
